Archaeometry is an umbrella term that covers a series of collaborations between natural sciences and archaeology/art studies.

Scientific methods have been used for several decades to complement more traditional archaeological/historical approaches, with the synergy between these sciences becoming gradually more important. Given the nature of the studied objects of particular importance are non-invasive or micro-invasive techniques.

In this class, the main non- (or micro-) invasive methodologies employed in the study of art/archaeological works will be described in the context of selected examples.

The same methodologies described here in the context of archaeology, art and history are routinely applied also in other fields of interest, like e.g. biomedicine, environmental sciences, forensic studies, geology, industry, nutrition, safeguard.

The aim of the subject is an introduction to floral biology, systematics and ecology of selected groups of Orchids. The course focuses on following topics: morphology of epiphytic and terrestrial orchids and their adaptations to various habitats; relationships between orchids and fungi; floral morphology; sexual reproduction in Orchids; putative evolution of pollination systems, and reasons why deceptive flowers are so common. The lectures also refer to Orchidaceae systematics, their geographical range and distribution of main groups of Orchids. It also highlights practical aspects of cultivation and conservation especially the question why they are so rare.

The bridge section of AZS UW is one of the best sections in the world. Our athletes win medals at the MP, ME, WC representing our country on all continents.

Students starting training can successfully achieve medal positions in the Warsaw Championships or in the AMP after about two years, and after about three medals of the Polish Championships or international events.

Classes conducted at a very high level with the use of the latest techniques and the most modern equipment (bridge tables, multimedia shows, auction cassettes, a robot for preparing cards, special boxes and symmetrical cards) are extremely attractive, especially since the classes are helped by players of our section, who themselves won medals of the World Championships and European Championships.
